I’m Will Carter, a Los Angeles–based product designer, programmer, and musician. I’m currently building the iOS/Android app Burner, leading design and prototyping around privacy, growth, and caller protection. I’ve also shipped WTF Tuner, Burner, Mobzombies, WTF North, Dumb Baseball, and Firewall, co-founded a small studio after studying computer science and music at UCLA, and I release synth-heavy guitar tracks and score the occasional indie game.
